On January 26, 2026, Minnesota police arrested anti-ICE protesters outside a hotel in Maple Grove after violence erupted during their demonstration. This incident reflects a shift in police policy influenced by a conversation between President Trump and local leaders, following Governor Tim Walz's response to federal pressure.
• Protesters gathered at the SpringHill Suites hotel, believing it housed Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino.
• The situation escalated, leading police to declare an unlawful assembly due to objects being thrown and property damage.
• Maple Grove police emphasized respect for peaceful assembly but stated that criminal acts would result in arrest.
• Homeland Security confirmed that Commander Bovino is still in his position amidst threats from protestors.
• Conservatives expressed support for the police actions, citing concerns over the safety of the hotel's patrons and staff.
• Some comments reflected skepticism about the arrests, suggesting that the protesters would quickly be released without facing serious consequences.
• Calls were made for local and federal law enforcement to cooperate in apprehending illegal aliens involved in criminal activities.
This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and local law enforcement's role in supporting federal initiatives.
